About Susan
Susan Hewitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She uses a holistic approach that pays attention to the mind, body, and spirit connection. Her aim is to offer a warm and affirming space where people feel heard and respected as they talk through difficult moments.
She brings 27 years of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background includes work embedded in primary care clinics and time spent in local schools.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth style focused on real-life problems and workable strategies. Susan has experience helping people with anxiety, stress, depression, panic attacks, and mood challenges. She also supports those facing relationship strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, and compassion fatigue.
Additional topics she addresses include social anxiety, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her work includes supporting members of the LGBTQIA community and addressing women's health concerns, religious trauma, and grief. Sessions aim to be compassionate and non-judgmental while offering concrete steps to manage symptoms and move forward.
People who choose her practice can expect a collaborative process. Susan listens for what matters most, then helps set practical goals and small, achievable steps toward them. She welcomes questions and looks to build a steady therapeutic partnership over time.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of Susan's most used approaches focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach teaches breathing and grounding techniques to reduce panic and acute anxiety; these are short exercises people can practice between sessions to regain calm. Another approach emphasizes behavioral steps and routine changes to lift low mood and reduce avoidance, which helps with panic disorder and social anxiety by encouraging gradual, manageable exposure to feared situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan collaborates with each person to identify what fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they will try techniques, see what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the therapy feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain regular contact and to practice skills between sessions.
